Fourth Anniversary First Post
My car broke down on Tuesday and I had it recovered to my local dealer. Unfortunately they didn’t have a loan car available for the total of 3 days without it. Cause the car breaking down is due to a warranty fault can I claim back my taxi fares to work and back ( £180).
thanks

    Will depend on terms and conditions 
    Was a taxi the cheapest way?
    they will look to see if you have minimised losses

    was public transport not available or  even hiring a car?

    Even with a warranty claim you might not even be entitled to a courtesy car let alone other expenses.

    It all depends on the dealer/manufacturer policy.

    Simplest thing is to ask them.
